You Know You're From --
stolen from meyham_m2
1. Go to Google and type, "You know you're from (your city or state) when...."
2. Cut and paste the list.
3. Bold the items that apply to you.
1. You measure distance in hours.
2. You've never had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
3. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.
4. Stores don't have shopping carts; they have buggies.
5. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it,
no matter what time of the year.
6. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store. (rarely, but I've used it once or twice)
7. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable,
grain, or animal.
8. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both
unlocked.
9. You carry jumper cables in your car...for your OWN car. (I know dad does)
10. You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting" are.
11. You only own four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco. (pfffff )
12. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent. (err no actually xD)
13. You think sexy lingerie is a tee shirt and boxer shorts. (that's considered comfy? XD)
14. The local paper covers national and international news on one page but
requires 6 pages for sports. (YES AND IT'S ANNOYING)
15. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
16. You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
17. You find 90 degrees F "a little warm." (but get above 95 and it's scorching. I'm best with 85 to 75 in terms of temperature *that's 23.8-29.4 degrees C*)
18. You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and
Christmas. (though...well to put it in months (March/April & November/December is Almost Summer, Summer is May-September, STILL Summer is usually October through mid November, and then Christmas is December-February...again depending on if our whether is....being normal XD *which it hasn't been --this past year* )
19. You know whether another Alabamian is from southern, middle, or northern
Alabama as soon as they open their mouth. (Unfortunately yeah. Yeah you can, basically. I don't make it a goal to point it out though, but some places the accent/word choice is more...pronounced. Though I've noticed I've started talking more 'northern' since --most of my friends are more 'northern' than me XD)
20. There is a Dairy Queen in every town with a population of 1000 or more. (yet ironically I've only been to one...TWICE)
21. Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past-time known as "goin wal-martin"or
off to "Wally World". (I've heard 'wally world' used before...but to some people the most amusing things happen at walmart. Granted Walmart is OPEN for 24 hours where I live so XD)
22. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili
weather. (Actually we have Chili whenever. Sis loves it, so XD) edit: wtf totally misread this one--when I was first typing this journal up *feels silly*
23. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop ... it's a Coke,
regardless of brand or flavor (though most places Coke --literally is "Coca Cola" but --yeah "Coke" is the catch all term)
24. You understand these jokes and forward them to your friends from
Alabama. (what jokes????)
also facebook is --useful but mean. First it says meggle is offline, then online--every damn minute. Like when I TYPE in the box it --says she's offline. I mean wtf. x.x
